Fearful and Wonderful Memorandum
of Baltimore C?ok.
In the family of a former B<l
toorean now residing In Providence,
R. 1., there is a middle-aged German
t/oman —a relative of the family—who,
though having lived in thia country
over a quarter of a century, has not
yet thoroughly mastered the English
tongue. The expressions of this rela
tive, who keeps house for the fam
ily, sometimes afford much amusement
to those unaccustomed to her peculiar
ly characteristic "pigeon English."
Happening to visit the kitchen sev
eral days ago the head of the houee
discovered tacked up against the wall
a crude memorandum pad. Inquiry
developed the fact that it was a re
minder of the day's culinary needs.
This is what was written in combina
tion English-German cbirography on
the little sheet:
Tapioca
pruns
corn Starsh
Shradded Wieth
Sardien
saman

The memorandum was confiscated
and sent to friends of the family in
Baltimore. It is being preserved as a
classic.—Baltimore News.

Mr. Johnson Willing to Give Well-Writ,

The financial prospects of Mr. Wash

sanguine spirit, which his friends did
not always appreciate.
"I'd like to borrow Jes' a little
money oh you," said Mr. Johnson, con
fidentially, to a friend. "I —I wouldn't
ax you fo' it, but I ain' got a single
cent left in de worl'."
"What secu'ity can you gib me?"
asked his friend, without any enthusi
asm.
"Why, I gib you my note ob hand!"
and Mr. Johnson looked pained and
amazed at such a question. "I reckon
you don' know what a good, clear
handwriting I got in de ebenlng
school."—Youth's Companion.
OF COURSE NOT.

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says it Weakens the Heart.
"In my opinion," says a well known
German physician, "no one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him,
as it has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in
jurious, poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart
muscles.
"For this reason the regular use of
coffee, soon or late, causes a condition
of undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
"Convinced of this fact, I have often
flight for some healthful beverage to
use instead of coffee. At last I found
the thing desired in Postura. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected, I
have recommended Postum as a bev
erage, since it is free from all injuri
ous or exciting substances. I know
this from results in my own family,
and among patients.
"Hundreds of persons who now use
Postum In place/of coffee, are greatly
benefited thereby." "There's a Reason."

HORTICULTURE
A WORD ABOUT PRUNING.
Suggestions for Work Which Should
Be Done Next Month.
It is a well-known old saying that
the time to prune is when the saw is
sharp. Practically most of our fruit
tree pruning ia done in early spring,
' 4/ ' hi,
Plum Tree Before Spring Pruning.
March being the accepted month.
There is a manifest tendency among
the most advanced fruitmen to do
more summer pruining and less spring
pruning. It is also quite plain that
those who are not real experts in or
chard matters are apt to overdo the
spring work with the pruning saw. If
pruning is carefully and conservative
ly done every March from the time
the trees are planted out, it may bo
considered a safe operation. The ex
cessive pruning of neglected trees at
this time of year, on the other hand,
is apt to be more of a damage than a
benefit, says the Country Gentleman.
Under present circumstances, we
have to recognize the fact that March

will he the main month for pruning
on farms and in small orchards. In
face of this fact, it is well to urge
the advice to be careful with the prun
ing tools, especially with the saw and
the ax, and not togo too fast.
EFFECT OF MULCH.
It Does Not Retard Blooming of Straw
berry Plants.
No. This question has been settled
for 20 years: So long as the top of a
plant is exposed to sunshine and air,
so long will any mulch be impotent to
retard its developing and blooming.
If a plant like a strawberry plant be
kept entirely covered with the mulch,
the development will be retarded, but
in that case the plant is likely to be
destroyed by the mildews that will de
velop.
It used to be believed that placing
straw around a tree or around a plant
would keep its roots cold and thus
delay blooming. This was desired to
carry the tree or plant beyond the
time of killing frosts. But it was not
difficult to prove that the state of the
roots had nothing to do with the
time of leaving out of the tree or of
Its budding. In one of the demonstra
tions to prove this, a grape vine with
its roots in the frozen ground, which
was also covered with snow, was car
ried into a grenhouse and exposed to
the light, heat and sunshine. The
leaves came out as usual, though the
roots could not supply moisture. Of
course the exhaustion of the moisture
in the vine resulted in its destruction.
A tree or a plant can be kept back
from blooming only by covering it and
thus protecting It from the influences
that cause it to bring forth leaves and
blossoms. The first activities of a
tree or plant come from energy stored
up in the form of starch from Ihe
food taken the previous year.
Remember This.
Remember, when making up your
order for trees for spring planting,
that it is best not to plant big blocks
all of one variety. Minnie the sorts,
so that their blossoms may help to
fertilize one another.

As He Understood It.
A youngster who has been living
with his grandmother in Nutley, N.
J., was brought to the city for a visit
a short time ago, and while here was
taken to the theater for the first time
in his life. In one of the scenes a but
ler comes on the stage and announces,
| "My lord, the carriage waits."
When the little fellow returned to
his grandmother's home he started In
at once to describe to her the play h®
, had seen.
| "And then, Granny," he said, in his
excited description, a big man with
gold buttons on his coat came on the
stage and said; 'My God, there's a
